I still adhere to my opinion that Disney’s The Little Mermaid is a story about a MTF transsexual.
I am kind of shocked and dumbfounded that you said that because that seems to be the general opinion of my Children's Lit class. How wonderfully academic of you!
Well, it is kind of obvious. Really? And here I thought I was the only one who thought so! Do your classmates also think Ursula represents Ariel's conscience/subconscious/inner turmoil/etc.?
There's never actually been a proper discussion, since it's not one of the set texts, but I would tend to see Ursula as the evil mother figure, who is trying to make the daughter suffer for lusting after the father. But then I am talking about Freud again, and I really wish I could stop doing that, because he freaks me out a little.
... What? I assume this is a whole other theory, and not meant to be compatibly with my MtF theory? And though I suppose I will regret it, mind telling me why you think so
